Topic: Vocabulary (syllabus-first, LLM-inferred from Stage 4 templates; not past-year derived)
Section A: Choosing the Right Word
1. (1) exhausted [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Exhausted" means very tired. After playing in the sun all afternoon, a child would feel tired, not angry, tiny, or noisy. Common mistake: choosing "noisy" because children are loud, but the context shows tiredness.
2. (3) velvety [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Velvety" describes something soft and smooth like velvet. The sentence says "feels soft like velvet", so velvety fits. Prickly = sharp, waxy = like wax, bulky = big and heavy.
3. (2) plumber [1 mark]
Teaching note: A plumber is a person who fixes water pipes and taps. This matches "fixes pipes and taps". Teacher teaches, baker bakes, pilot flies planes.
4. (2) flock [1 mark]
Teaching note: A group of birds is called a flock. Crowd = people, school = fish, pack = wolves/dogs.
5. (2) disappointed [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Disappointed" means sad because something did not happen. Cancelled trip → disappointment. Delighted/cheerful/proud are happy feelings, opposite of context.
6. (2) return [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Return" means put back. After reading, books go back on shelf. Borrow = take, hide = conceal, tear = damage.
7. (2) spicy [1 mark]
Teaching note: Children often cannot eat very spicy food. Soup too spicy fits. Sweet/plain/cold may not stop a child eating.
8. (1) meteorologist [1 mark]
Teaching note: Meteorologist studies weather. Detective solves crimes, judge/lawyer work in court.
9. (1) wooden [1 mark]
Teaching note: A walking stick is often made of wood → wooden. Hungry/funny/noisy do not describe material.
10. (1) busy [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Busy as a bee" is a common phrase meaning very active. Calm/wise/blind are other comparisons but not with bees for work.
Section B: Word Meanings and Families
11. (2) run into [1 mark]
Teaching note: Phrasal verb "run into" = meet by chance. Run away = escape, run over = hit by vehicle, run out = finish supply.
12. (2) caring [1 mark]
Teaching note: From noun "care", the adjective is "caring" (showing care). Carefully is adverb, cared is verb past, cares is verb present.
13. (2) cannot see well [1 mark]
Teaching note: Idiom "as blind as a bat" means poor eyesight. Bats are not really blind but phrase means unable to see clearly.
14. presentation [1 mark]
Teaching note: Word family -tion: present → presentation (a talk/show). Sentence: "Siti won first prize for her presentation about Kampong Glam." Spelling: presenta + tion.
15. (3) take away [1 mark]
Teaching note: Singapore English "take away" = food for takeout. Alight here = get off, queue up = line up, makan = eat (Malay).
Section C: Vocabulary in Context
16. (1) solve [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Solve" goes with mystery. Cook/paint/sing are unrelated actions.
17. (2) muddy [1 mark]
Teaching note: After rain, ground becomes muddy (wet dirt). Dry/hard/clean contradict rain effect.
18. (2) kind [1 mark]
Teaching note: Sharing shows "kind" (caring). Greedy/lazy/rude are negative, not sharing traits.
19. (2) listen to [1 mark]
Teaching note: Good children "listen to" parents' advice. Ignore/shout/push are disrespectful.
20. (1) quiet [1 mark]
Teaching note: Library reading corner needs "quiet" (no noise). Loud/busy/messy are wrong for library rule.
